Phil Ivey, Doug Polk in Action at Epic WSOP $25k Heads-Up Tournament

Two GOATS in their own right, Doug Polk and Phil Ivey, have both officially made their 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) debuts in what is one of the most stacked tournaments of the summer.

Event #8: $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship began at noon PT on Friday with 64 of the best and most popular players in the game, all just hoping to keep pace with the great John Smith, of course.

Smith, who finished second in this event twice (2016, 2017), faced Ivey in the first round.
